Request Letter for Certificate of Residence

A certificate of residence, which can also be called proof of residence, is a certificate that is bestowed by the municipal government of the country making sure of a person’s residency. In the certificate of residence, a person’s address, location, or residency is made sure. It is used for the registration or documentation of someone’s residency in that specific address.

A request letter for a certificate of residence is written to any authorized officer of the municipal or local government of the city or county or to the tax agents or to the landlords depending upon nature, to grant the certificate of residence. It is written for the sake of security and tax exclusion.

Tax is implied on the foreign residents for living in that city or county if they are not permanent residents of an area. It is also written to avoid any kind of later complication or liability. For social security purposes and taxation, the municipal government takes care of this certification.

Write before a legal contract…

Re. Request for Certificate of Residence

Dear Sir,

It is stated that I had been working in GHK Group of Companies in Albany, New York from December 20XX to May 20XX based on a contract. Now I have been shifted from Albany to New York City on a working or business basis. My stay here in the city shall not be of the temporary type as I have been approved as a permanent employee of the company’s franchise.

I request you grant me a certificate of residence as my working place has asked for it to be submitted within the first week of May. Sir, as I have informed you it is the prerequisite of my working place that is why I request you to grant me the certificate on a priority basis.

I have fulfilled the prior procedures to get the certificate, the further process shall be moved on with your kind approval. All the required attested copies of the documents and my ID have been enclosed.

Thank you in anticipation

Sincerely

(Signature)
